How Wearable Tech from Lumos & Embr Wave Can Unlock The Best Night Of Rest — For You And Your Partner
Sharing a bed with a partner can be wonderful… until your sleep rhythms clash. Maybe you're an early bird and they’re a night owl. Or maybe one of you runs hot while the other piles on the blankets. Enter the perfect sleep tech duo: the Embr Wave Smart Cooling & Warming Wristband and the Lumos Sleep Mask.
The Problem: Sleep Rhythm Mismatch
When one partner wants to sleep early but the other stays up late, it can lead to light disturbances, temperature battles, and general frustration. A mismatch in circadian rhythms can disrupt rest, leaving both partners exhausted.
The Solution: A Tech-Powered Sleep Sanctuary
By pairing Embr Wave, a smart personal temperature control wristband, and the Lumos Sleep Mask, a mask that optimizes your light exposure for better circadian alignment, you can craft your perfect sleep environment, even while sharing a bed.
How They Work Together
- Lumos Sleep Mask: This smart mask uses timed light therapy to help shift your circadian rhythm gradually, whether you need to wake up earlier or adjust to a new schedule. Instead of disruptive bedroom lights, you get a controlled, gentle light cue—just for you.
- Embr Wave Smart Cooling and Warming Wristband: The world’s first personal thermostat. Embr Wave provides personalized cooling or warming at the touch of a button, so you can sleep in comfort without subjecting your partner to your temperature demands or fighting over the thermostat.
Why This Combo Is A Game-Changer
- 🌙 Stay Asleep Despite Light Differences – The Lumos mask blocks unwanted light while delivering the light therapy you need.
- ❄️🔥 Temperature Harmony – One person can get cool while the other stays warm, without the need to compromise anyone’s comfort.
- 💤 Better Sleep For Both – Instead of waking up at different hours and disturbing each other, you can sync naturally or sleep soundly through your partner’s schedule.

Circadian Rhythm: The Key To Better Sleep
A healthy circadian rhythm, your natural sleep cycle, is the foundation for a good night’s sleep.
Lumos Smart Sleep Mask is a personalized light therapy device that uses patented light therapy technology to help you strengthen this foundation, so you can enjoy a good night’s sleep and wake up refreshed.
Circadian Rhythm Disruptions In Modern Society
In an ideal world, our bodies would follow the natural rise and fall of the sun, keeping our sleep cycles perfectly in sync. However, modern life has disrupted this natural rhythm in countless ways, from evening light exposure and shift work to frequent travel across time zones.
Disruptions to the our internal circadian rhythm—the internal clock that regulates sleep, wakefulness, and overall well-being—can lead to:
- Poor Sleep Quality – Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling unrested.
- Daytime Fatigue & Brain Fog – Trouble concentrating, reduced productivity, and sluggish energy levels.
- Increased Health Risks – Long-term circadian misalignment has been linked to a higher risk of metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and mood disturbances.
Lumos: A Smarter Way To Sleep
Decades of research from Stanford have demonstrated that short light flashes were highly effective in regulating the human circadian clock, offering a powerful, non-invasive way to shift sleep-wake cycles and improve overall sleep quality.
🔷 The Lumos technology is seamlessly embedded into a soft, breathable sleep mask, making it easy to integrate into your bedtime routine.
🔷 Simply connect Lumos to your smartphone via the Lumos iOS app, where you can choose from a variety of sleep programs designed to help you adjust your circadian rhythm for better sleep, energy, and alertness.
🔷 After you input your sleep schedule and goals, Lumos creates a personalized light program tailored to optimize your body clock, whether you need help adjusting to a new time zone, working night shifts, or improving overall sleep quality.

Embr Wave
How Does Embr Wave Work?
Press To Cool. Press To Warm. Feel Better, Fast.
Embr Wave is a smart cooling and warming wristband that uses on-demand temperature sensations to help you feel better.
Ever held an ice cube to the inside of your wrist or the side of your neck on a sweltering hot day and felt the cooling sensation spread throughout your entire body? That’s exactly how Embr Wave works.
🔷At the touch of a button, the Embr Wave wristband generates cool or warm sensations by moving heat away from or toward your skin in waves.
🔷The precisely calibrated cooling or warming waves gently stimulate the temperature-sensitive nerves on the inside of your wrist.
🔷The thermal stimulus triggers a natural mind-body comfort response that helps bring relief for sleep, hot flashes, stress, and more.
Why Use Embr Wave?
Personalized Temperature Control At The Touch Of A Button
Temperature is a universal physical sensation that can be used to help us feel better in a myriad of different situations. When it comes to sleep, Embr Wave uses temperature sensations to activate your body’s natural thermoregulation system. By delivering gentle cooling or warming waves to the inside of your wrist, the Wave helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed—key factors for falling and staying asleep.
🔷Say Goodbye to Night Sweats
If you tend to sleep hot or wake up sweaty, Embr Wave’s customizable cooling sessions provide relief to help calm your body into sleep and keep you comfortable through the night.
🔶Drift Off to Cozy Dreams
Embr Wave’s gentle warming sessions help signal to your body that it’s time for shuteye, promoting relaxation and easing you into sleep even if your partner hogs the blankets.
😴Discover Your Perfect Sleep Routine
Explore a variety of customizable cooling and warming sessions designed to support sleep by connecting your Embr Wave to the Embr Wave 2 app (available free for iOS and Android). Select and customize thermal sensations to help you fall asleep and keep you comfortable through the night, with options ranging from 10 relaxing minutes to 9 restful hours.
Clinically Validated Effectiveness
Embr Wave has been shown to be effective at improving sleep in published clinical trials performed with partners including the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; the Institute for Applied Life Sciences at University of Massachusetts Amherst; Brigham and Women's Hospital; and West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.
Embr Labs and Johnson & Johnson formed a partnership to study the benefits of Embr Wave for menopausal women dealing with hot flashes and thermal sleep disturbances. After just two weeks, the study participants reported significant improvements in the ability to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer; reduced daytime sleepiness; and improved control over their hot flashes. Embr Wave also helped them feel less uncomfortable when a hot flash occurred and improved their ability to return to sleep after a nighttime hot flash.
Key results from the Johnson & Johnson study:
- 28% less time to fall asleep
- 21% reduction in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
- +20 extra minutes of nightly sleep
- 26% reduction in daytime fatigue
